On Monday afternoon, November 2, 2009, I was blessed to attend this event as County Coordinator that began at the State Capital and then moved to the Governor's Mansion. I accompanied Pat Harriston of Carolina Canines and winner of the Award for 2009 New Hanover County, Donna Sweetman' s disignee Caroline O'Brien and her therapy dog trainee - Judah to the festivities.
The Governor's Award for Volunteer Service program is an important part of the proud history and tradition of volunteerism and community service in our state. For thirty-one years, the program has honored the true spirit of volunteerism in our state by recognizing individuals, groups, and businesses that make a significant contribution to their community through volunteer service. Created in 2006 the Governor's Medallian Award for Volunteer Service is presented to the top twenty volunteers in the State.
Congratulations to Donna Sweetman from Carolina Canines for Service. She is dedicated to making sure that highly skilled service dogs can be provided to persons with disabilities. She averages 120 volunteer hours a month. Donna is an advanced trainer that has trained 9 service dogs. The lives of those she has impacted is immeasurable.
